14.6 Wired Register (6)<br />

The Wired register is a read/write register that specifies the boundary between the<br />

wired and random entries of the TLB as shown in Figure 14-6. Wired entries are<br />

fixed, nonreplaceable entries, which cannot be overwritten by a TLB write<br />

operation. Random entries can be overwritten.<br />

Figure 14-6 Wired Register Boundary<br />

The Wired register is set to 0 upon system reset. Writing this register also sets the<br />

Random register to the value of its upper bound (see Random register, above).<br />

Figure 14-7 shows the format of the Wired register; Table 14-7 describes the<br />

register fields.<br />
